They’ve been to the playoffs with Mark Malone, Cliff Stoudt, Bubby Brister, David Woodley, Mike Kruczek, Mike Tomczak, Neil O’Donnell, Kordell, and Tommy Maddox
——————————-
ummm…how many super bowls were won by this pathetic group of QBs? I’m starting to think the total matches your IQ. Tomczak? Really? All he did was make Kordell look good which was an amazing feat but not one that produced super bowls. Keep on bashing and pretending your a Steeler fan.
next question!

You would be surprised how much info I have🙂 Did take the research beyond the pale–but for love of the Steelers, not Ben. Had to be sure one way or the other. If the evidence had gone the other way, I’d be trying to get him released, too. He’s done STUPID things, just not that. And he shouldn’t settle with McNulty for expediency. Not worried about more bombshells there.
You’ve made the argument. Despite GREAT defenses, o-lines, etc., no playoff team you named made the podium … because they lacked a top-notch quarterback. Roethlisberger is as mature as a junior high kid. But he has the arm, mobility, leadership, and fearlessness of an elite QB. Those qualities helped get us to two Super Bowls, and he orchestrated the final drive of XLIII. But there’s still A LOT of room for improvement.
His high-risk lifestyle shows in his play. He thinks no matter what wild risk he takes, fate will save him. Sometimes it does, and that’s thrilling for fans. But often he takes unnecessary sacks or throws reckless picks. As time passes, the hits will outnumber the miracles. He can’t see that because he’s too invested in his own mystique. He won’t consider modifying his style for quicker release. And coaches let him get away with that–just as they did with his off-field behavior.
Yeah, it’ll be a rough year. But other teams have had to weather deaths, Spygate, drug scandals, rumored moves or sales, shootings, and death threats because they’ve hired an animal abuser. Ben may get booed. So? Bradshaw got booed. Tommy Maddox hadn’t been involved in a sex scandal when he found his lawn covered in garbage. Pittsburgh QBs get crucified anytime the team loses. If he wins, Steelers won’t be booing.
The media hates Belichick and Parcells. Hasn’t hurt them. And Ben’s fellow players aren’t PFT’s wide-eyed farm boys and delusional dads who think DTF college girls are never-touched-a-drop virgins who don’t know what DTF means. Players KNOW what these women are and how many athletes are falsely accused. They may not like Ben, but they believe him. If he keeps his nose clean, all but the PFT Rapistberger types will forget it in time. And how long have some Steelers fans ragged on Ray the Murder? Like the man said, karma is a bitch.
Kordell was a great athlete. But Roethlisberger is a top-tier QB who has the potential to be a great QB. If he makes some adjustments and starts putting in the kind of practice/study effort that Brady and Manning apply, he has the ability to reach that level. The others you mentioned didn’t. You don’t toss that kind of talent when the evidence shows he didn’t do the crime–and you don’t tank a guy’s career because he’s rude and immature. He’s had a wake-up call. Let’s see what he does with it.

But, the dude has got to go. I’ve been around long enough – I know what’s going to happen. Kordell — who was a really great athlete and one of my favorite all-time NFL’ers — had his one moment where he cried on the sidelines – and he never recovered the respect of many of the Steeler fans. —
The Steelers should run the best QB they’ve had since Bradshaw because of some gullible, reactionary yinzers are upset?
“He’s still got multiple bombshell’s from the McNulty case that are still going to land.”
McNulty is certifiably insane- not that that’ll matter to the yinzers, who believe whatever they see on t.v. no questions asked.
“The Steelers have never needed a qb to go 9-7, or to make a playoff run. They’ve been to the playoffs with Mark Malone, Cliff Stoudt, Bubby Brister, David Woodley, Mike Kruczek, Mike Tomczak, Neil O’Donnell, Kordell, and Tommy Maddox, among others. I’ve watched them all – not a Hall of Fame arm in that crowd, I can assure you.”
Those were terrible, sometimes gut wrenching years, and I don’t want to relive them. I have a hard time believing that someone who “watched them all” would want to.
“All the Steelers need to do is play hard-nosed defense, and run the football effectively, and they’ll do at least as good as last year. ”
Wow, maybe they can ride that formula all the way to the AFC Championship game, where they can lose in an embarrasing way just like they always did with that philosophy. I’m sure that you remember those times, after all, you supposedly “watched them all.”
“They sure as hell don’t need Ben Roethlisberger and Willie Colon chasing DTF-girls for “Ben-A-Palooza”
Yeah, who needs the QB who has led the team to dozens of 4th quarter comebacks and two superbowls?

In the words of Willie Colon’s agent, Paul Linta: “Willie Colon is of no use of help to anybody.”
Hopefully this will be his first step on a one way trip out of town. One less boozing buddy for Roethlisberger.
Addition by subtraction. Ramon Foster will win the spot in training camp and the Steelers’ line will be improved.

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:19:04 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=77712#comment-665490@Deb – “I post evidentiary material about a rape case and you’d think I poisoned their dogs! LOONY TOONS!”
========================
Evidentiary material?? What, did you get ahold of DTF-girl’s bodily fluids Deb? Wouldn’t surprise me.
Look – I don’t hate Ben, and I don’t hate you. But, the dude has got to go. I’ve been around long enough – I know what’s going to happen. Kordell — who was a really great athlete and one of my favorite all-time NFL’ers — had his one moment where he cried on the sidelines – and he never recovered the respect of many of the Steeler fans.
The fans are going to be merciless with Ben. Every interception, he’s going to hear it in his earhole. The local reporters hate him – he’s been rude to them for years. It’s never going to work out. He’s still got multiple bombshell’s from the McNulty case that are still going to land. His reputation is going to take beating after beating after beating, and he’s never going to have the fans, the team, and the local reporters on his side — and that’s a recipe for lots of losing
He just needs to go. If he was smart, he would settle his lawsuits, go lay low for a year, and then try to come back with a team that desperately needs a qb, like the Bucs or the Bills or somebody. The Steelers have never needed a qb to go 9-7, or to make a playoff run. They’ve been to the playoffs with Mark Malone, Cliff Stoudt, Bubby Brister, David Woodley, Mike Kruczek, Mike Tomczak, Neil O’Donnell, Kordell, and Tommy Maddox, among others. I’ve watched them all – not a Hall of Fame arm in that crowd, I can assure you.

Why the man crush for Tebow? He ain’t gonna do shit in the NFL. Go and root for Denver please. Create a new login; maybe OrangeCrush Guy. Why the hatred for the Steeler players? You call yourself a fan. Just because you rooted for the Steelers in the 70’s doesn’t make you a fan today. You sound like more of an ass with every post you make. I’m not asking you to like Ben, but wtf did Willie do? I’m sure you’re ready to get rid of Tomlin and you think Hines is old too. Just very surprised by you constant bashing of the Steelers. Many fans from other teams show so much more class than you even though they hate the Steelers. Did you meet little Timmy at his church during gay pride week or something? Your obsession is baffling.

But we’ll see if they can rise to the occasion.
@I Heart Pats … Thanks for a classy post!
@PAJoe … Are you another Steelers fan who hates Steelers fans without cause? Or an Eagles fan? Trying to keep my haters straight. Some women can multi-task, you know … surf football sites and still be great cooks … sew clothes and handle a toolbox … love the NFL and still look good in high heels.
Hi, Bunny Hop!
@Burning River … Sooo many psychics on this site. Why don’t we just wait and see what the season brings? Yes, it’s said karma is a bitch. Wouldn’t want to wish ill on people but pray those in Milledgeville reap as they’ve sown. Since Colon wasn’t involved in any allegations, his injury is no more karmic for Milledgeville than any other player’s off-season injury. The more applicable quote in his case would be “sometimes a banana is just a banana.”

He is a terrible immobile QB who has no touch. I am shocked that Tomlin is actually starting him over Dixon or Batch. BTW whoever said Pouncey would take over at right tackle doesn’t realize that Pouncey was a center and guard in college not a tackle.

Quarantine that good awful sh^thole!!!
Are you talking about Pittsburgh? The city that once again was rated most liveable, this time by Forbes? Where was Baltimore on that list? USA Toady rated the nighttime view from Mt Washington the 2nd most beautiful place in the entire country, behind only Red Rocks in Sedona. Where was Baltimore on that list?
I don’t live in Pittsburgh (I live in SoCal) so I’m not here defending my home. I’m here pointing out what a moron you are. I seem to see Pittsburgh on numerous “Best of” lists. (The only bad ranking they ever seem to get is for poor air quality – but then they are downwind from Ohio, so that is their fault). Yet you are so obtuse as to come on here and call the city a sh^thole? Really? That just proves what an idiot you are.

And ooooo, you wouldn’t believe the unprovoked evil guys like IAG can spew when you don’t agree to irrationally hate your team’s QB along with them.

Essex was the worst guard in the league, out of 84 rated (you need a minimum number of snaps played to be rated).
Pouncey will slide in to guard if Essex slides over to tackle – but this hurts no matter how you cut it.
